 eff any people ill all the world ought 10 have monument, he said "it Is the journalists. The more tatiguing the pilgrimage the more important that the pilgrim have pleasant wayside inn for the night. To niuety mne out Of d hundred newspaper men life Is a drudge, a grind, an exhaustion and an injustice. Once in while brain worker, using voice as well as pen, comes to adequate com pensatlon, or through a syndicate he commands. high prices for liter ary toil. But 1 know 1 have known scores of journalists i'll these cities in d hand to hand fight with appalling necessity.
 And yet when the community can get their newspapers one cent cheaper which always means har. der times for those who make the newspapers joy Of that one cent saved Is like that of Colum- bus at the discovery of America. Pitch them all in between the iron , cylinder of the printing press, the reporters, masculine and feminine, and night editors and day editors and proof readers aud occasional contributors-pitch them all in, and grind them up and grind tn en down till the blood and crushed i ibone shall roll like water in a mill race If we can save d cent oU oui morning and evening newspapers T Dear Lord of heaven and earth make easier times for newspaper men by stopping the cauohlzatlol and metamorphosis and .loriica ton of nickel.
 WHAT PuLPITS OWE THE PRESS.
 Standing here in the dust of the released men of the press and m the presence or many of the living who have thclr hand on the might fest agency of intelligence that the world has ever known. the mod ern newspaper, it may be only fair aud right that thank the print ing press for what 1t has done fol the pulpit. It has filled our audi toriums with men and women that know how to think. 1t has awakened us 60 more vivacity by the fact that is has made our con. gregatious impatient of humdrum It has made us preach less plati tudes, because that which is flat as delivered the next day is more awfully flat when the type expo ses it. It has made onr pulpits more intelligent by the fact that all the religious intelligence Of the world, not waiting, at once. fol some sectarian journal, the prod uct of scissors and paste pot, tC come slowly round, is now twice | day brought to our studies. | has taken Gospel messages that would otherwise have stopped a the four walls of a meeting house ora cathedral and rolled then across Christendom in Il day When ecclesiastical conrts have sometimes without any dlscriml nation, reprimanded journalism wish Co say that, while that proies sion. like all others, has those un fit and unworthy, in all my ac. uuainlauce have never fount men characterized hy more lideli ty and spirit of fairness than those who for the most part colnpos' the newspaper profession. Though in perpetual converse with them l have never been betrayed. an, there are not half a dozen newspa perS among the thousands an' thousands of all the land to whicl 1 could not go if l were wrouge' in full confidence that my wron! would be rightel.
 The mightiest help and rem forcement of the pulpit to day i' the printing press And whe' will one of my profession eve have q better opportunity of thank ing journalists of the past and tn, present than on this Sabbath af tcrnOon amid the flowers and tho sculpture and by the altars o grass covered mound aud un der the arches of the summer tim' heavens.
